Predictors of discharge to home following major surgery for urologic malignancies: Results from the national surgical quality improvement program.

Objectives: To identify patient risk factors that predict nonhome discharge after surgery for urologic malignancies as well as determine whether discharge status had an impact on readmission rates in patients undergoing surgery for urologic malignancies.

Methods: We identified patients who had undergone surgery for urologic malignancies including prostate, bladder, kidney, or upper tract urothelial cancer from 2011 to 2019 in the American College of Surgeon National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify patient characteristics that were associated with nonhome discharges and 30-day postoperative readmission.
